Inspired by Exquisite Creatures, join us for a mesmerizing evening of performance with the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas (SoNA). Just as Christopher Marley masterfully reimagines natural beauty in his exhibit "Exquisite Creatures," SoNA showcases composers who similarly breathe new life into classical music by borrowing from the past and infusing it with contemporary flair. From the Baroque brilliance of Vivaldi to the timeless genius of Aaron Copland to the modern voices of Christopher Ducasse and Mark O'Connor, witness the evolution of musical expression through borrowed motifs and inspired transformations.
About SoNA Beyond:
SoNA Beyond showcases the vast spectrum of possibilities for classical music to reach audiences in new and innovative ways. SoNA Beyond presents a variety of concerts, programs, and other creative arts experiences that go beyond the symphony’s annual mainstage season of concerts. The new series features symphony musicians in creative ways, including chamber music performances, outdoor educational concerts, community partnerships, groundbreaking contemporary experiences, and more. SoNA Beyond rethinks the boundaries of what a symphony can do to innovate the artform, include new voices, and immerse SoNA in the Northwest Arkansas community – to give audiences an expansive view of what classical music is and who it serves.
